El diseño al aire libre, las puertas con mosquitero y una piscina de 10 metros hacen que la selva tropical entre en Bird House. Esta villa de 4 habitaciones en Gamboa tiene capacidad para 8 personas y está cerca del Parque Nacional Soberanía y del Canal de Panamá.
Bird House
Bird House está diseñado para huéspedes que desean experimentar el trópico en lugar de aislarse de él. Abra las mallas, sienta la brisa, escuche la lluvia, refrésquese en la piscina y despierte con los sonidos de las aves y los monos aulladores.
Ubicado en la histórica Gamboa, Bird House ofrece un entorno tranquilo desde el cual experimentar uno de los bosques tropicales más ricos del mundo, en la comodidad de una casa cuidadosamente diseñada.
El espacio
Esta casa tropical de tres pisos presenta un diseño distintivo en el antiguo territorio de la Zona del Canal de Gamboa. Esta vivienda única responde al carácter natural y cultural de la zona.
Su construcción consciente del medio ambiente combina concreto con paredes de persianas de teca de plantación. La planta baja cuenta con aire acondicionado, mientras que el primer y segundo piso no. Los aleros amplios proporcionan sombra, y las paredes de persianas y las grandes puertas con malla canalizan las brisas predominantes para mantener los pisos superiores bien ventilados.
La distribución abierta crea una experiencia de vida interior y exterior que resalta los sonidos, aromas y vistas del bosque tropical y del Canal de Panamá.
Segundo piso
El segundo piso incluye una suite principal con un balcón que da al patio interior, la piscina y el Cerro Pelado. Dependiendo del viento y del movimiento de los árboles, el balcón también ofrece una vista parcial del Canal.
Diseñado en función del recorrido diario del sol y del movimiento natural del aire del terreno, el dormitorio recibe abundante luz natural y ventilación. La suite también cuenta con un hermoso baño doble.
Primer piso
El primer piso cuenta con una cocina moderna de concepto abierto, con amplias encimeras de mármol que conectan con una espaciosa sala y comedor con un techo de 25 pies de altura.
La cocina, bien equipada, es ideal para cocinar y recibir invitados. La sala y el comedor incluyen:
- Una mesa familiar con bancas y sillas en los extremos para 10 huéspedes
- Sofás y sillas hechos a la medida, diseñados por el propietario
- Dos terrazas grandes accesibles mediante amplias puertas corredizas de madera
Cuando las puertas están abiertas, las áreas interiores y exteriores se integran, creando una sensación continua de espacio visual y físico.
La terraza más grande da al patio interior e incluye:
- Bancas integradas
- Una piscina de 10 metros
- Una casa de ducha de estilo japonés
- Muebles de terraza para exteriores
- Una barbacoa de gas
Es un lugar relajante para pasar tiempo junto a la piscina, observar a los colibríes desplazarse por el patio y disfrutar de comidas con vista al bosque tropical.
Planta baja
La planta baja es la única área de la casa con aire acondicionado. Incluye tres dormitorios individuales, cada uno de aproximadamente 10 por 12 pies.
Cada dormitorio tiene:
- Una cómoda empotrada
- Un clóset
- Un escritorio
- Un rincón de descanso con vista al patio interior
Los dormitorios dan a un espacioso espacio con aire acondicionado de 20 por 30 pies, que cuenta con una mesa de billar y camas de día para descansar.

Información importante

También hay murciélagos en Gamboa.

Los huéspedes tienen acceso a toda la casa, la piscina y el terreno. La casa es suya para disfrutarla con total privacidad.

We had a fabulous time at Chimene’s place. She was also a great host, providing a lot of recommendations, such as cooking catering by a local chef (Karmir) who cooked us delicious dinner meal which was really appreciated and local guide for Monkey Islands boat tour. The house was clean and we had plenty of space. It was also a surreal experience to stay inside the house while listening to the nature and birds. We highly recommend this place if you are looking to connect with the nature and enjoy beautiful surroundings!

Staying at the Bird House was a dream. If you want a true jungle immersion with all the comforts of a luxury home, this is it. The architecture is breathtaking—the open-air design on the upper levels makes you feel like you’re living in the canopy. We spent hours on the deck spotting toucans and listening to howler monkeys; it’s a birder's paradise! The amenities are top-notch. The kitchen is massive and well-equipped, perfect for group meals. After hiking nearby Pipeline Road, the private pool was the perfect place to cool off. I loved the contrast of the ground floor, which is air-conditioned and has a pool table—ideal for relaxing in the afternoon heat. Chimene is a fantastic host who provided excellent tips for navigating Gamboa. This isn't just a stay; it’s an unforgettable experience. The sounds of the rainforest at night are something I’ll never forget. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique, soul-recharging getaway!

The house is very beautiful, all in wood. The owner let us check in early, which was very convenient for us. Truly quiet and very large house. Plenty of space with a beautiful terrace. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks to Chimène.

What a cool experience to stay in this place! The architecture of this house and the interior design were fantastic. Quality all around! The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals, but we took advantage of having Karmir (recommended) cook for us so we could relax. (And it is SO nice to have sharp knives!) And the birds were amazing. Our Merlin bird app detected more than 20 birds that we had never heard of before. We took full advantage of the pool in some very hot weather. It was very special to be in the pool during a couple of brief rain showers. I would suggest a boat trip to see the monkeys and other wildlife (we also saw a sloth) and watch the huge ships cross Gatun Lake. It was very hot while we were there, so having the lower air-conditioned area was really nice. Having the pool table down there was also super fun. And the host, Chimene, was fantastic in every way. She provided an education about the Canal and Panama in general. Thanks, Chimene!

We had a wonderful stay at the Bird House, which is very spacious and designed tastefully. The description is not kidding, this house is IN the jungle and you’re surrounded by the sounds of nature and animals. We made sure to bring plenty of groceries and took advantage of a local cook that makes delicious meals. We found it very easy to get back and forth to the city via Uber. Definitely recommended for those that appreciate nature and peace. Would absolutely stay here again.

My extended family of 8 stayed at the Birdhouse for a few days at the beginning of our Panama trip in February 2026. The house was perfect for the eight of us - three couples and two children. The kids loved the pool while the adults watched all sorts of birds from the decks of the house. The layout of the house provided a lot of spaces for privacy and quiet. It was an easy walk to the small mini market and restaurant, which was very reasonably priced and had good food considering the location. One night we had Chimene’s friend come to bring us a homemade dinner, which also was very reasonably priced and delicious. We loved the house and its surroundings. Would highly recommend to groups staying in Gamboa.

The Birdhouse is wonderful. The design allows you to feel in the environment with all the amenities of a modern home. The hosts answered all of our questions and provided great information a for local guide, chef, and many options to experience Gamboa and the rainforest. If you are planning a trip to Panama, head to Gamboa and stay at the Birdhouse.

This is one of the most beautiful, elegant, peaceful places I have visited (let alone stayed in). Thanks to Chimene's great instructions it was easy to check in (even in the dark). The neighborhood is quiet and lovely, convenient to everything in Gamboa. We like to walk, so walked to the Pipeline road trail, the Rainforest Preserve, the marina, and to the resort (Sloth rescue center). At the marina we met Fernando, who was able to take us out for a private boat tour to meet the monkeys, and to fish. (Saves you the 2 hours on the road if coming from Panama City, to spend it on the water). Chimene gave us referrals for both people and places she recommends. We sadly (most of my family ended up not being able to join) were alone most of the time, we are brainstorming how/when to return with more to celebrate with and enjoy this lovely home.
